Computational design of electrostatic potential to maximise or minimise adhesion to surfaces
Computational design of electrostatic potential to maximise or minimise adhesion to surfaces is a scholarly work, published in 2009 in ''Materials Science and Engineering C-Biomimetic and Supramolecular Systems''. The main subjects of the publication include chemistry, adhesion, chemical physics, condensed matter physics, surface energy, computational design, materials science, atomic force microscopy, molecular electronics, Surface charge#Gouy-Chapman, diamond, adsorption, partial charge, surface, dipole, polarity, nanotechnology, electric potential energy, potential energy, and electrostatics. It has been found that the free energy of adhesion is readily maximised by means of increasing the polarity of the electrostatic surface potential in a distinctive dipolar pattern.
